iCloud Restore Makes Me Login to every App!!!

Have you been able to resolve this? I have the same problem.

This is incredibly frustrating. It will take me hours and hours to relogin into all apps, reset my Apple Watch, reconnect all my bluetooth devices, and reset tons of passwords that I have never stored in my password manager, reconfigure my widgets etc etc etc etc

Super super annoying.

Ideally that is not wanted behaviour, but seeing how everyone's accounts are compromised lately, Facebook perhaps increased their security and when they see new device connecting they trigger as security measure - password entering.

Keychain will take care of wifi, credit cards and safari passwords, but as far as I know is not restoring in App passwords.

When you backed up the iPhone, did you choose to backup all passwords? When next you're doing a backup, you'll notice in iTunes - Automatically Backup - iCloud or This Computer and under this option, you'll see Encrypt iPhone backup. If you choose that option, you wouldn't have to enter all of your passwords into all of your apps.

1. According to that article below icloud backup is encrypted by default that would point us to even mentioning itunes backup here is not needed, fact that is icloud on ios device thread here is kind of beyond the point.

About backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

iCloud

• Stores backups in the cloud
• Offers up to 1TB of storage (your first 5GB are free)
• Always encrypts your backups
• Lets you make and use backups from anywhere with Wi-Fi

iTunes

• Stores backups on your Mac or PC
• Storage depends on your Mac or PC's available space
• Offers encrypted backups (off by default)
• Lets you make and use backups from your Mac or PC

2. According to the same article

"Activity, Health, and Keychain data (To back up this content, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)"

So logically If keychain contained in app passwords, restore from backup wouldn't be needed or depended upon, activation of keychain would take care of saving passwords by itself. But it didn't.

Now according to that article below some of the apps passwords can be supported by icloud keychain, but we still do not know if Facebook, pinterest and twitter have that ability. So if you have any info about those apps keychain support, surely OP and me would appreciate you sharing it with us.

Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain - Apple Support

Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are kept up to date on all devices that use the app and are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.

My post about itunes backups was not intended for you, but for zinacef, who offered that option to you and I believe didn't understand complete encryption of icloud backup. My first response was intended for you and didn't change. Despite the transfer of the token, Facebook server still wanted to verify your password.

My post above was only a suggestion based on my own personal experiences, i.e. when I backed my iPhone using the iCloud option via iTunes, I noticed I had to re-enter the passwords for all/most of my apps on the phone; however, when I backed it up opting for the option To My Computer and Encrypt Passwords (via iTunes) I noticed I didn't have to re-enter the passwords to my apps. As I mentioned, merely an observation....

Our experiences are the most important part of our existence, so lets verify if your experience is helpful. Did you restore your itunes backup to the same device with same Unique identifier that would already be in the memory of the servers of third party apps or to new device that has different device identifier?

That is actually curious for me as well - was always wondering why itunes backup contains voicemail token (not encrypted) and icloud backup contains voicemail password and how big of the difference between those.

Yes, same device - an iPhone 6S.

Did you try encrypting the backup as zinacef posted?

Nice
